Omaha Game Thread - MSU v Virginia

[msstate7]

Why not Harding in vs lhh?

[Rex54]

Enough! Stop this Lemon!

[RocketDawg]

Sims now! Don't give the game away.

[BeardoMSU]

Here he comes.

[Really Clark?]

Without the wind that would have been a out

[Bulldog1]

They are killing him - PULL HIM NOW

[Rex54]

Why not Harding in vs lhh?

He's getting loose in case we go a long extra inning slog i reckon.

[Activated Alpha]

Get Simmons out

[CadaverDawg]

I just don't understand F'ing around with this after such a comeback. This win is everything

[ScoobaDawg]

sims time. good choice

[RocketDawg]

Thank goodness, regardless of how he does.

[Lord McBuckethead]

No idea why. We have Sims. We have to win this game.

[maroonmania]

I would have rather gone with Brandon Smith than Simmons.

[R2Dawg]

Cumbest would have caught that.

That is what I thought as well. Skinner jumped too soon too.

[CadaverDawg]

If you were willing to go there with 2 outs, you shoulda gone there with none IMO

[ScoobaDawg]

I just don't understand F'ing around with this after such a comeback. This win is everything

they like to keep us from having heart attacks by constantly stresssing us....

[CadaverDawg]

they like to keep us from having heart attacks by constantly stresssing us....

Haha

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright. 4 outs to get some rest. Lets go.

[ScoobaDawg]

That is what I thought as well. Skinner jumped too soon too.

exactly. cumbest gets it. might break his neck. but he gets it.

[smootness]

Dumb dumb dumb by Lemonis to not start Sims in the 8th. Inexcusable.

[RocketDawg]

Who's using the defibrillator now? Can't use it long - have to pass it around.

[Rex54]

Nice!!

[parabrave]

One pitch.

[Really Clark?]

Oh yeah 1 pitch out!! Let's go offense!!

[msstate7]

Best case there, 1 pitch

[Bdawg]

Dang I thought he smoked that. Not gunna lie.

[Activated Alpha]

All the juju!!

[msstate7]

4-6 for 9th, right? Need a run

[Bulldog1]

Great - be nice to get another run here.

[RocketDawg]

exactly. cumbest gets it. might break his neck. but he gets it.

Looked like it was way out of reach to me. Isn't Skinner supposed to be the best on defense?

[Bothrops]

Who's up?

[Commercecomet24]

Harding should've pitched the 8th

[Lord McBuckethead]

1 pitch, one out. Time to add 3 runs and get this over with. Lets go.

[maroonmania]

I like only 1 pitch there. Essentially Sims is only going to pitch one inning now.

[msstate7]

Dang I thought he smoked that. Not gunna lie.

I thought it was gonna fall. I didn't think he got it that well

[CadaverDawg]

So basically he's pitching the 9th. That worked well, but now I'm going to puke again

[Bdawg]

Score some more dang it.

[BeardoMSU]

1 pitch inning for Sims helps a bit, lol.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hatcher, Jordan, Allen, and then 3r hR Leggett for Hancock.

[msstate7]

Harding should've pitched the 8th

Should've at least came in for the lhh

[starkvegasdawg]

Dang I thought he smoked that. Not gunna lie.

Sims has had some hard hits off him his last three outings. Two of them just landed.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Need a pair of runs. Got to get that run back and another.

[SilentSteel16]

Cumbest would not have even been in position. Sims looked a little flat on that pitch. Need a run here

[Lord McBuckethead]

Harding should've pitched the 8th

No idea who the hell actually started the 8th.

[CadaverDawg]

Who's using the defibrillator now? Can't use it long - have to pass it around.

I got next

[Commercecomet24]

8-9-1 up

[Lord McBuckethead]

Cumbest would not have even been in position. Sims looked a little flat on that pitch. Need a run here

Sims threw first pitch slider. He will start straight gas next inning.

[starkvegasdawg]

I got next

I'm just holding a frayed extension cord I plugged in.

[chef dixon]

UVA pitcher squeezed

[Rex54]

If Hatcher can bunt, now is the time

[msstate7]

Don't like shrinking zone. It worked for us there, but I want sims with a good zone

[maroonmania]

Need Hatch to bunt him over.

[Commercecomet24]

No idea who the hell actually started the 8th.

Stone Simmons

[The Federalist Engineer]

Bunt

[Really Clark?]

Alright, good eye Clark!! Bunt him over

[Bulldog1]

Bunt him to 2nd??

[CadaverDawg]

I'm just holding a frayed extension cord I plugged in.

Hahahaha

[Activated Alpha]

All the juju!! Calling Hatch HR

[R2Dawg]

Sims threw first pitch slider. He will start straight gas next inning.

Yep juice in the 9th but he can't leave anything over the plate too easy though.

[Really Clark?]

That's freaking horrible luck

[Rex54]

I said IF Hatcher can bunt.....

[RocketDawg]

Didn't care for all those bunts.

[Bdawg]

Dang hatch. Head high.

[maroonmania]

Man, that hurt.

[ScoobaDawg]

well that was a shitty bunt by hatcher....

[msstate7]

Didn't care for all those bunts.

I don't hate it, but I don't like it either. That's not our game

[The Federalist Engineer]

Didn't care for all those bunts.

Better than a DP

[Hambone]

Wasn’t much he could do with that

[CadaverDawg]

Oh well, I'll take Hatch's hit last inning

[Lord McBuckethead]

Ouch. Hatch almost caught that one in the face. Rising FB on a bunt is busch league.

[msstate7]

Wasn’t much he could do with that

Pull back

[Percho]

Well to start with, you bunt strikes!

[Activated Alpha]

All the juju!

[Rex54]

Ouch. Hatch almost caught that one in the face. Rising FB on a bunt is busch league.

Fastballs don't rise.
Saying something is Busch league... is Busch league.

[Percho]

Pull back

Turn around and let it hit you.

[RocketDawg]

I'm just holding a frayed extension cord I plugged in.

Probably need the 240 plug.

[Rex54]

There's no way that's intentional in this spot.

[BeardoMSU]

May 'em pay, Kam.

[msstate7]

I don't like that

[Rex54]

I don't like that

I do! RISP now.

[KOdawg1]

We're gonna blow it. We suck. Sims is overrated. Maybe next year.

[msstate7]

Hit a 3-run hr here. Get 2 outs in 9th and drill whoever that 3rd guy is

[PMDawg]

Was that on purpose?

[Really Clark?]

Well most of y'all have never squared with 90 plus coming right at your face then. Its straight protection at that point, you don't have time to do anything...pull back, turn or anything. If you just reflex it, fine but you don't have time for anything conscious

[ScoobaDawg]

well then... pegged ta in the back. ouch. 2 on. 2 out

[msstate7]

I do! RISP now.

Our best hitter just got hit in shoulder area. That could be bad

[FISHDAWG]

That looked on purpose

[mparkerfd20]

Man if Hatch could've got a bunt down

[Hambone]

Screw that, get the three outs and get the hell out of there

[BuckyIsAB****]

This team has a way. No matter how shitty we are they have a way

[ScoobaDawg]

Was that on purpose?

I see no way thats a smart play to do it..so no. did it hurt though yes. ouch

[CadaverDawg]

If you told me 2 innings ago that we score 6 runs, I am pissed at you for insulting my intelligence. This is insane.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well hitting Tanner is 17n bitch move. That hit him in the damn spine.

[Bdawg]

I do! RISP now.

Yeah just so he's not hurt

[Activated Alpha]

All the juju!!

[RougeDawg]

Was that on purpose?

No. He?s just missing arm side bad. No way you put someone on in that situation.

[ScoobaDawg]

This team has a way. No matter how shitty we are they have a way

has all year.. hell have for a while. it's a never out of it. never stop believing. i freaking love it.. even when they let me down.. but it hurts more.

[CadaverDawg]

Hope TA is ok

[maroonmania]

They have outhit us 12-6.

[RocketDawg]

Was that on purpose?

I sort of think it was.

[Percho]

If you told me 2 innings ago that we score 6 runs, I am pissed at you for insulting my intelligence. This is insane.

Best post of the day.

[R2Dawg]

We're gonna blow it. We suck. Sims is overrated. Maybe next year.

Keep the streak

[Lord McBuckethead]

I see no way thats a smart play to do it..so no. did it hurt though yes. ouch

Exactly. If this was the MLB, I would say they would never get that inside on a pitch. College, it seems like that was not intentional. Now, we have to make them pay for it. A double here would do it.

[msstate7]

They have outhit us 12-6.

Maybe they shouldn't have bunted so much

[maroonmania]

This dude is really squeezing the strike zone. Sims is going to have to put it in the middle of the zone unfortunately.

[Rex54]

Maybe they shouldn't have bunted so much

U right. Made no sense early.

[Really Clark?]

Good AB James

[Rex54]

Alright Legget

[BrunswickDawg]

Need Leggett to be a RAT

[msstate7]

Take a strike... or 2

[Really Clark?]

Leggett, be patient with this guy and ump

[Activated Alpha]

All the juju!!

[RocketDawg]

Wild pitch would work right now

[msstate7]

Not a good looking cut

[msstate7]

That was better

[Rex54]

Let's go Sims!

[RocketDawg]

Sims gotta hold 'em now.

[Really Clark?]

Crap...go with it Leggett!!

[R2Dawg]

Next 3 hitters are hitless tonight. Sims mow them down.

[Activated Alpha]

Like I said earlier. Need Sims to be mentally and physically sharp. These umpires like to squeeze late in games

[ScoobaDawg]

Legett makes the easy ground out to 3rd. sims. 3 outs. do it.

[CadaverDawg]

https://media0.giphy.com/media/ED1nge1yi8cGoSYvlb/giphy.gif

[maroonmania]

Would have been nice to have gotten at least 1 there. Oh well, hope Landon has the magic for one more inning.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Well Lemo is riding out top guy. he's saved him all year for this. This is what we wanted.

If we blow it now I can feel at ease with it. We just ran out of pitching, nothing Lemo could have done about it. Our top guy with the game on the line, he's earned it

[Really Clark?]

Nice James!!

[Rex54]

Kam with the glove! Truly our night.

[RocketDawg]

Nice play by Kam.

[msstate7]

.274
.240
.237
That's their BA

[Saltydog]

C'mon Lando.....Let's get this done.....

[Really Clark?]

Lot of sliders

[Activated Alpha]

No walks Sims!!

[Really Clark?]

One More!!!

[msstate7]

ThT was an interesting route

[Rex54]

Skinner giving me a heart attack

[Hambone]

Can’t take it

[msstate7]

Skinner giving me a heart attack

Hopefully that was wind

[ScoobaDawg]

ok. cumbest doesnt make that play i think

[Hambone]

Unless that gun is off I think Sims is gassed

[msstate7]

89?

[RocketDawg]

What a comeback! Amazing team.

[Rex54]

Hell yes!!!!

[Bdawg]

Just an awesome comeback.

[maroonmania]

Unreal comeback win!!

[Bulldog1]

What a game. Huge!

[CadaverDawg]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Really Clark?]

K!!! We win!!

89, 89, 90 worries me, hopefully rest helps a lot

[maroonmania]

I never had a doubt!

[starkvegasdawg]

What is it about 6-5 wins against VA?

[Rex54]

Bednar starts the next game

[Statecoachingblows**]

Wow-money

[Bdawg]

Unless that gun is off I think Sims is gassed

I hope so but he has a few days rest now too.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Sims needs the rest - huge win, history made for the program

Allen Bomb puts him in very special territory for MSU and us fans

[Bothrops]

Can't count this team out.

[ScoobaDawg]

Don't ever doubt these boys... wow

[Commercecomet24]

This team has big steel balls! Just huge huge huge!

[Dawgology]

Damn. That was wild

[Commercecomet24]

Tanner Allen inching toward GOAT territory

[maroonmania]

The big key was the bullpen keeping it a 4-0 for like 6 innings even when they had multiple times with a man on 3rd and less than 2 outs.

[Lord McBuckethead]

17n Sack. Hatch delivers to give it a chance. 17n good job hustling down the line given the amount of shit he has taken.

[Really Clark?]

Bullpen was pretty elite tonight

[R2Dawg]

MSU baseball is red hot. Time to win a NC.

[Hambone]

K!!! We win!!

89, 89, 90 worries me, hopefully rest helps a lot
That?s what I referring to when I said he looked gassed.

Hopefully these extra days of rest is just what the Dr ordered

[SailingDawg]

How many pitches did Sims throw?

[FISHDAWG]

These guys are a new version of the Cardiac Kids

[smootness]

Bednar starts the next game

No, Harding. Win it and you have Bednar ready for game 1 of the championship series.

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

Not many...I think like 12 pitches.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I hope so but he has a few days rest now too.

Sims was noticeably off his 95 to a 88 FB. Man needs a big girl to show him a good time and some rest.

[smootness]

How many pitches did Sims throw?

I think 15 or 16. I would think he could give us an inning or two on Friday.

[Commercecomet24]

That?s what I referring to when I said he looked gassed.

Hopefully these extra days of rest is just what the Dr ordered

That guns been off since the beginning. Those pitches weren't 89

[Lord McBuckethead]

No, Harding. Win it and you have Bednar ready for game 1 of the championship series.

Lose it and you have to throw Bednar game 2 and possible risk him not getting rest for a start in the finals.

[msstate7]

Well, I'm impressed with that come back. This team is just finds a way. Find a way for 3 more wins, dawgs. Hats off to a great team win

[Maroonthirteen]

What a job by Lemonis to manage the pitching staff. I thought we were toast. Lemonis managed a helluva game to keep it close for the come back.

What a gutsy performance by those field players. Wow.

In the drivers seat, resting up for Friday. What a game.

[msstate7]

No, Harding. Win it and you have Bednar ready for game 1 of the championship series.

I agree

[Really Clark?]

I think 15 or 16. I would think he could give us an inning or two on Friday.

It was 15

[Cooterpoot]

That's baseball

[OLJWales]

Can we start another "What if LSU Wants our Coach" thread?

[Rex54]

No, Harding. Win it and you have Bednar ready for game 1 of the championship series.
No. Bednar. So you can have him for Game 2 of the finals (if we lose game 1) or Game 3 of the finals (if we win game 1)

[Lord McBuckethead]

That guns been off since the beginning. Those pitches weren't 89

They looked noticeably slower. I am not sure it was off.

[Rex54]

I agree

Well you're wrong too.

[Bdawg]

That guns been off since the beginning. Those pitches weren't 89

Think it's just erratic cause their starter was reading 95-96.

[smootness]

Lose it and you have to throw Bednar game 2 and possible risk him not getting rest for a start in the finals.

Yeah, but use him Friday and you won't bring him back until possibly Wednesday if you get there. So if you have to use him before that, he won't be available much for the championship. So do what you can to avoid using him before then. Harding has been great anyway, he gives us a great shot to win Friday.

[BeardoMSU]

It was 15

Most efficient outing he's had, probably.

[MoreCowbell]

No. Bednar. So you can have him for Game 2 of the finals (if we lose game 1) or Game 3 of the finals (if we win game 1)

We play Friday right? No way Lemonis puts Bednar back out that soon

[Lord McBuckethead]

Tanner Allen, Clark, and Hatcher need to thank Lemonis for leaving Mac out there just long enough so they can go down in history.

[smootness]

No. Bednar. So you can have him for Game 2 of the finals (if we lose game 1) or Game 3 of the finals (if we win game 1)

If he can pitch game 2 after pitching Friday then he can pitch game 3 after pitching Saturday. There's no reason to use him if you don't have to.

[The Federalist Engineer]

The big key was the bullpen keeping it a 4-0 for like 6 innings even when they had multiple times with a man on 3rd and less than 2 outs.

“They let up and we whipped their butt”

If people remember who said that, I would be banned, but it fits today. I wanted to punch the Dude that said it about 27 years ago

[Rex54]

If he can pitch game 2 after pitching Friday then he can pitch game 3 after pitching Saturday. There's no reason to use him if you don't have to.

You aren't guaranteed game 3 numbnuts

[Commercecomet24]

They looked noticeably slower. I am not sure it was off.

Yeah it's been off and on. The kid from uva first 3 fbs said 88 kid wasn't throwing 88. Bednar on Sunday 3 in a row at 88. D1 players ain't that late on 89

[BeardoMSU]

We play Friday right? No way Lemonis puts Bednar back out that soon

He won't. We need him in the finals.

[Commercecomet24]

Think it's just erratic cause their starter was reading 95-96.

It's very erratic uva starters first 3 fbs said 88. Kid was throwing harder than 88

[maroonmania]

No, Harding. Win it and you have Bednar ready for game 1 of the championship series.

Exactly, we aren't going to bring Bednar back on short rest in a non-elimination game. He threw 110 pitches. If you cut him short 2 days on rest he could probably go no more than 4 or 5 innings anyway.

[Commercecomet24]

Harding will pitch Friday and wrap this thing up. Bednar will pitch game 1

[smootness]

You aren't guaranteed game 3 numbnuts

Right...but if you win Friday with Harding, you have a fully rested Bednar to pitch as much as he wants Monday. Use him Friday, and you get a Bednar that isn't fully rested, then would need to bring him back even less rested in the championship series.

Go with Harding and try to win Friday. Either way, you need to win a couple games without Bednar.

[Rex54]

Right...but if you win Friday with Harding, you have a fully rested Bednar to pitch as much as he wants Monday. Use him Friday, and you get a Bednar that isn't fully rested, then would need to bring him back even less rested in the championship series.

You aren't thinking logically.

[smootness]

This is pretty straightforward.

If you win Friday it's:
Friday - Harding
Monday - Bednar
Tuesday - MacLeod
Wednesday - Harding for as much as you can get out of him

If you lose Friday it's:
Friday - Harding
Saturday - Bednar
Monday - MacLeod
Tuesday - Harding for as much as you can get out of him
Wednesday - Bednar for as much as you can get out of him

[smootness]

You aren't thinking logically.

LOL ok

[DownwardDawg]

Turned it off. Going outside to sit and sweat. We'll win.

Well, cancer boy sat outside all evening in the Houston heat. Suffered through a couple severe thunderstorms. Another treatment tomorrow but waiting on someone to give me final score so I can go to bed now. How bad did we end up beating them??!??!

Lol

[BayouDawg]

This team continues to make me eat crow about them having mental toughness. And I am loving every last bite

[Rex54]

This is pretty straightforward.

If you win Friday it's:
Friday - Harding
Monday - Bednar
Tuesday - MacLeod
Wednesday - Harding for as much as you can get out of him

If you lose Friday it's:
Friday - Harding
Saturday - Bednar
Monday - MacLeod
Tuesday - Harding for as much as you can get out of him
Wednesday - Bednar for as much as you can get out of him

Ok so you agree if we lose with Harding (uhhh not exactly out of the realm of possibility) we may not even see Bednar in the finals. See Kendall Graveman 2013.

Why not go Bednar Friday and then we can easily see him again Game 2?

[Cowbell]

That guns been off since the beginning. Those pitches weren't 89

Yeah it was showing leiter at 89-90 last night and he's usually 95-96

[The Federalist Engineer]

What to do with Mac?

Too me, He has to be Bullpen, with Foxhall and Jay Powell making absolutely sure the Curve has Snap and the Changeup moves at least 12-18 inches.

Anything else is reckless

[smootness]

Ok so you agree if we lose with Harding (uhhh not exactly out of the realm of possibility) we may not even see Bednar in the finals. See Kendall Graveman 2013.

Why not go Bednar Friday and then we can easily see him again Game 2?

Because you don't EASILY see him game 2. You wouldn't even EASILY see him Friday. He wouldn't be fully rested for either start, it would be dumb to run him down like that because you're losing effectiveness. It's not like he's been some dominant horse all year anyway. Harding has been just as good.

And of course we could lose with Harding. But you take that when you come to it. The goal is to have Harding pitch on full rest, win, then have Bednar pitch on full rest to give you a great shot at being up 1-0 in the championship series.

[BayouDawg]

He won't. We need him in the finals.

Agreed. I think Cohen would redo 2013 if he could. He threw graveman in the semis and we didnt get to use him in the finals

[Commercecomet24]

This is pretty straightforward.

If you win Friday it's:
Friday - Harding
Monday - Bednar
Tuesday - MacLeod
Wednesday - Harding for as much as you can get out of him

If you lose Friday it's:
Friday - Harding
Saturday - Bednar
Monday - MacLeod
Tuesday - Harding for as much as you can get out of him
Wednesday - Bednar for as much as you can get out of him

This!, it's not rocket science.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Unless that gun is off I think Sims is gassed

What a job to come in from eating a hot dog to that

[Dawg_Lover]

Anybody got a good used defibrillator you want to sell ?!?

[Bdawg]

What a job by Lemonis to manage the pitching staff. I thought we were toast. Lemonis managed a helluva game to keep it close for the come back.

What a gutsy performance by those field players. Wow.

In the drivers seat, resting up for Friday. What a game.

I only thought he should have pulled MacLoud quicker and saved a couple runs.

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah it was showing leiter at 89-90 last night and he's usually 95-96

Yep and Madden and Bednar had several 88 mph fbs Sunday and I know that want right. And the only thing leiter throws at 89 is a slider.

[BayouDawg]

He won't. We need him in the finals.

You go Harding on Friday. I?d they win and force another game then maybe Bednar on Saturday but then we would basically be forfeiting him for the finals

[BeardoMSU]

You aren't thinking logically.

At least your insults have simmered down from "y'all are all morons, goons, and dipshits", lol.

[BeardoMSU]

You go Harding on Friday. I?d they win and force another game then maybe Bednar on Saturday but then we would basically be forfeiting him for the finals

Exactly.

[R2Dawg]

Proud for Hatcher to get a big play in CWS after a tough year. Feel bad for Mac. Hope he gets some redemption before series is over.

[maroonmania]

Agreed. I think Cohen would redo 2013 if he could. He threw graveman in the semis and we didnt get to use him in the finals

We were VERY fortunate tonight. We need Mac to get right to win this thing. 2 starters that you can depend on is tough.

[BeardoMSU]

Anybody got a good used defibrillator you want to sell ?!?

I keep a taser on the coffee table. Not sure if it's been FDA approved for that purpose, but it seems to work aside from the constant pissing myself.**

[Rex54]

Exactly.

That's why you throw him on Friday so you can use him in the finals too, you goonish moronic dipshit*

[BeardoMSU]

We were VERY fortunate tonight. We need Mac to get right to win this thing. 2 starters that you can depend on is tough.

We absolutely need a good game from Mac if we're gonna win it all. I just don't know what's up with him. There are times he's filthy, but late in the season, he has been awful.

[Dawg2003]

That game damn near put me in the ground!

[Bdawg]

Harding will pitch Friday and wrap this thing up. Bednar will pitch game 1

I think this is right.

[Dawg_Lover]

I keep a taser on the coffee table. Not sure if it's been FDA approved for that purpose, but it seems to work aside from the constant pissing myself.**

😂🤣😂🤣

[Really Clark?]

Mac only threw 35 pitches tonight, he could be available again this weekend

[Commercecomet24]

Just talked to a scout I know. Those last 3 fbs from sims were 94,94,95. Gun at the stadiums been having calibration problems

[RougeDawg]

That guns been off since the beginning. Those pitches weren't 89

This. It?s been bouncing around all tournament. Virginia starter showed 88 a few times early on fastballs season were 2 days late on. Maybe it?s picking up the bat swing instead of the ball. That can happen.

[BeardoMSU]

you goonish moronic dipshit*

https://i.imgur.com/CnVJ994.gif

[ScoobaDawg]

You aren't thinking logically.

ok back to dumb rex think.
you pitch hootie friday
you lose. you pitch bednar saturday

[BeardoMSU]

I think this is right.

Because it is.

[Commercecomet24]

Mac only threw 35 pitches tonight, he could be available again this weekend

Heck you could almost start Mac Friday and save hopefully save hootie to start game 2. Thinking way ahead of course

[BeardoMSU]

Just talked to a scout I know. Those last 3 fbs from sims were 94,94,95. Gun at the stadiums been having calibration problems

Oh, well that changes things a bit, lol.

[Activated Alpha]

Ok well I will not watch the 8th and hopefully throw every ounce of Juju their way in order to get the lead. Come on boys!!

So I won't take credit because I was negative for the first 7th inning, but I mean.....there might be something to this?

[RougeDawg]

Just talked to a scout I know. Those last 3 fbs from sims were 94,94,95. Gun at the stadiums been having calibration problems

Is it only off on pitches someone swings at and picking up the bat speed?

[Rex54]

ok back to dumb rex think.
you pitch hootie friday
you lose. you pitch bednar saturday
Then you don't have Bednar in the finals until game 3. Good job.

[Dawg_Lover]

Well, cancer boy sat outside all evening in the Houston heat. Suffered through a couple severe thunderstorms. Another treatment tomorrow but waiting on someone to give me final score so I can go to bed now. How bad did we end up beating them??!??!

Lol


They never gave up! So proud of them!!
MSU 6 UVA 5

And, a Atta Boy to Kellum Clark for helping turn this game around with a 2 run homer!

Will continue to pray for you, Fishdawg, & Boston.

Exactly. Calibration problems and yeah sometimes when that happens they get swing speed not pitch speed

[Really Clark?]

Heck you could almost start Mac Friday and save hopefully save hootie to start game 2. Thinking way ahead of course

I was thinking along the same. Don't think that's what coach will do, but I would think about it. Whoever we face will most likely be stretching someone on short rest or going with who all they have left.

[Commercecomet24]

Is it only off on pitches someone swings at and picking up the bat speed?

That's what appears to be happening

Our side started on Sunday, so we might get Texas or Virginia's #1 on Friday

Yeah pitching for others will be getting paper thin at that point.

Then you don't have Bednar in the finals until game 3. Good job.

Why does it matter which game he pitches? You need one win without him no matter what.

Probably, like I said stretching their starter on short rest. It also depends on the game they play Thursday and how they had to use their pitchers. A nice little 15 inning game for them to get to Friday play would be nice.

Our pitching depth is really paying off! So glad Lemomis has brought all these arms along and didn't take the van horn/bianco/manieri route. You know 2 pitchers and pray lol!

I doubt it since they will need Saturday either way. Lose Friday, then we probably would.

One of the guys you can definitely see it against is Chapman with Yankees. He?s throwing gas and it?s registering in the 80?s on a swing.

A bad Mac is really throwing a wrinkle in all this. We got to have a good start from him next time out. It may be for a damn NC!!

True, they may bring in their #1 at some point since it's do or die. Lets hope for a close one that goes to extras.

Would be a helluva redemption. Would love it.

Yeah we need him bad but he looks lost out there. No command of any pitch. Without his off speed stuff he ain't got enough fb to get by.

Right. You know that ain't correct!

[FISHDAWG]

They never gave up! So proud of them!!
MSU 6 UVA 5

And, a Atta Boy to Kellum Clark for helping turn this game around with a 2 run homer!

Will continue to pray for you, Fishdawg, & Boston.

Thanks Dog ... much appreciated

[Maroonthirteen]

Yeah I bet cha UVA throws that guy from tonight, at least in relief if they can get to Saturday.

State should go with Harding Friday obviously. If it gets to Saturday, Start Mac with a quick hook and all arms on deck.
